ABSTRACT
AIM:To study the changes of tear film and ocular surface after the coaxial incision 2.5mm and 3.0mm in the phacoemulsification.METHODS: Seventy patients (92 eyes) from February 2015 to February 2016 in our hospital were enrolled.The patients were randomly divided into two groups.Thirty-four patients (46 eyes) in Group A: coaxial 2.5mm incision phacoemulsification cataract extraction and intraocular lens(IOL) implantation.Thirty-six patients (46 eyes) in Group B: the conventional coaxial 3.0mm small incision phacoemulsification cataract extraction and IOL implantation.The break up time (BUT),Schirmer`s Ⅰ test (SⅠt) and lid-parallel conjunctival folds (LIPCOF) were assessed preoperatively and postoperatively.RESULTS: At 1wk,1 and 3mo postoperatively,the BUT in two groups decreased after operations,and the BUT of Group B was significantly lower than those of Group A,the differences were statistically significant (t=3.089,4.497,4.322;all P0.05).The BUT,SⅠt and LIPCOF score in Group B showed statistically significant differences (t=-4.059,3.629,4.211;all P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Ocular surface has less damage and tear film has little influence at early stage after the coaxial 2.5mm incision phacoemulsmcation,compared with the conventional coaxial 3.0mm incision phacoemulsification surgery.
ABSTRACT
AIM:To study the changes of tear film and ocular surface after the coaxial micro incision 2. 2mm and 2. 8mm in the phacoemulsification. METHODS:Eighty-six patients ( One hundred and six eyes ) from 2014/06 to 2016/01 in our hospital were enrolled. The patients were randomly divided into two groups. Forty-four patients ( Fifty-three eyes) in group A: coaxial 2. 2mm micro- incision phacoemulsification cataract extraction and intraocular lens(IOL) implantation;Forty-two patients ( Fifty-three eyes ) in group B: the conventional coaxial 2. 8mm small incision phacoemulsification cataract extraction and IOL implantation. The break up time ( BUT) , dry eye symptom ( DES) score, Schirmer's I test ( SⅠt ) and lid-wiper epitheliopathy ( LWE ) score were assessed preoperatively and postoperatively. RESULTS:At 1wk, 1 and 2mo postoperatively, the BUT in two groups decreased after operations, and the BUT of group B was significantly lower than those of group A, the differences were statistically significant ( t = 3. 098, 4.512, 4.329; all P 0. 05). The BUT, DES score, SⅠt and LWE score in group B showed statistically significant differences (t=-4. 063, 7. 306, 3. 621, 4. 208;all P<0. 05).CONCLUSION:Ocular surface has less damage and tear film has little influence at early stage after the coaxial 2.2mm microincision phacoemulsification, compared with the conventional coaxial 2. 8mm incision phacoemulsification surgery.
ABSTRACT
To evaluate the visual performance of aspheric multifocal intraocular lens (SN6AD1+3. 0D) implanta-tion in age-related cataract surgery. Forty-eight patients (60 eyes) with age-related cataract were divided into two groups, 28 patients(30 eyes)in the multifocal group (implanted with SN6AD1+3. 0D multifocal intraocular lens), and 20 patients(30 eyes)in the monofocal group (implanted with SN60WF monofocal intraocular lens). The uncor-rected and the best corrected distance,intermediate and near visual acuity and the amplitude of pseudoaccommoda-tion were measured after surgery,and the subjective visual performance was evaluated by the questionnaire. The un-corrected intermediate and near visual acuity were statistically better in the multifocal group than the monofocal group. The amplitude of pseudoaccommodation of multifocal and monofocal group was (2. 65 ± 0. 48) D and (0. 38 ± 0. 15)D. The spectacle independent rates of multifocal and monofocal group were 86% and 13% respectively.
ABSTRACT
Background With the development of phacoemulsification surgery,the minimization of the size of the incision in order to reduce the damaging of eye tissue and postoperative complications becomes a focus.Objective This study aimed to assess the clinical efficacy of coaxial phacoemulsification type cataract surgery through a 1.8 mm microincision with foldable intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in eyes with age-related cataract.Methods Informed consent was obtained from each patient at the beginning of this study.A serial case observation study was designed.Thirty-two eyes of 32 patients with age-related cataract were enrolled in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region People' s Hospital from April 2012 to May 2012,including 8 eyes of grade Ⅱ hard nucleus cataract,16 eyes of grade Ⅲ hard nucleus cataract and 8 eyes of grade Ⅳ hard nucleus cataract.Ocular axial length was measured by an A-mode ultrasonic apparatus,and IOL diopter was calculated using the SRK-Ⅱ formula.Under ocular surface anesthesia,a 1.8 mm clear corneal tunnel incision was made at the 10-11 o' clock position,and then an auxiliary incision was made at the 2 o' clock position.The opaque lens was extracted by routine phacoemulsification.An Akreos MI60 IOL was implanted through the 1.8 mm incision.The time and level of ultrasonic power required for phacoemulsification,postoperative visual acuity and incidence of postoperative complication were assessed.Postoperative examinations were scheduled at 1 day,1 week and 1 month after the surgery.Results All the operations proceeded smoothly.The mean phaco-time was (7.0±3.6) seconds and the mean ultrasonic power level was (15.3 ±6.1)％ among the different grades of cataract groups.The number of eyes presenting an uncorrected distance visual acuity of ≥ 0.5 was 18 (56.25％),28 (87.50％) and 30 (93.75％) 1 day,1 week and 1 month after surgery,respectively.The number of eyes with a best corrected distance visual acuity of ≥ 0.5 and 0.8 were 31(96.88％) and 26 (81.25％),respectively,1 month after surgery.Negligible changes were detected in the anterior chamber depths,and no thermal damage was found at the incision during the operation.Conclusions Coaxial phacoemulsification and IOL implantation through a 1.8 mm microincision is safe and effective.Thorough planning and precise execution are necessary.
